1 Approved by: Corporate Director, Environmental Supports Discharge and Transfer Cleaning - Isolation Environmental Services Operating Standards Manual Number: Date Approved Next Review March 3, 2018 Purpose Applicability Responsibility Principles Procedures This Operating Standard provides guidance for the expectations of appropriate steps to clean an isolation patient/resident room discharge or transfer to ensure safety and maintain quality. This Operating Standard applies to all Covenant Health Environmental Services staff. All Environmental Services employees are required to follow the steps outlined when doing a discharge or transfer clean of a patient/resident room in order to maintain a clean and safe environment. It is the Employee s responsibility to perform proper hand hygiene prior to starting step one of the cleaning protocol. A standard cleaning process for discharge/transfer isolation room cleaning ensures sanitation of the environment after patient/resident discharge and aids in the prevention of cross contamination. Treat each patient/resident area as if it was a single room. TOOLS NEEDED Cleaning cart, linen hamper, hand pail, clean cloths, dry mop, wet mop, bucket and wringer or Microfiber System, cleaning/disinfecting product(s), dispenser refills, dispenser keys, dustpan and broom, wet floor signs, scraper/putty knife, dusting tool(s), garbage bags, linen bags (for soiled linen), radiator brush, gloves and safety goggles/glasses. SAFETY PRACTICES Place floor sign where it is readily seen at all entrances and exits and remove when floors are dried. Carry garbage bags away from body. Raise bed to avoid bending causing strain on back. Follow proper ergonomic practice as per training. Cleaning carts are to be stored appropriately in housekeeping supply rooms when not needed or not in use. If cleaning cart is not visible when on units it must be locked. Cleaning carts are not to be used to hold or store foodstuff and/or beverages. Change PPE as necessary to prevent cross contamination. If any questions regarding safe practices, please consult with your immediate supervisor. STEPS 1.

Maintenance report plugged or damaged toilets, urinals, sinks/fixtures, lights, walls, etc. to unit staff and to your Supervisor or submit maintenance requisition where appropriate. Cleaning/Disinfecting Products Never mix chemicals. Review MSDS sheets for product handling and precautions. Product(s) must be measured properly and changed after every case. Chemical must remain on surface for entire kill cycle / contact time. Refer to specific chemical directions. Ensure proper solution concentration testing Standard Operating Procedures are followed and documented. Use only hospital approved cleaning and disinfecting products. If at any time you are unsure of which tool(s) and/or product(s) to use for a task, consult your Supervisor. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Clothing or equipment worn by staff for protection against hazards. To Don is to put on, and to Doff is to remove. Additional Precautions (AP) Precautions (i.e. Contact Precautions, Droplet Precautions, Airborne Precautions) that are necessary in addition to Routine Practices for certain pathogens or clinical presentations. These precautions are based on the method of transmission (e.g. contact, droplet, airborne). Damp Cloth Cloth must be wet to ensure that the surface stays wet for the required contact time of a disinfectant to be effective. Cleaning The physical removal of foreign material (e.g. dust, soil) and organic material (e.g. blood, secretions, excretions, microorganisms). Cleaning physically removes rather than kills microorganisms. It is accomplished with water, detergents and mechanical action. Disinfection The inactivation of disease-producing microorganisms. Disinfection does not destroy bacterial spores. Medical equipment/devices must be cleaned thoroughly before effective disinfection can take place. Hazard Assessment Health and Safety Hazard Assessments mitigate the risk of incident/injury or illness from exposure to biological, chemical, or physical contaminants. To reduce the risk of incident/injury or illness appropriate controls must be put into place. Health and Safety Hazard Assessments must be completed and reviewed before an ES employee is exposed to contaminants which may pose incident/injury or illness. This is done to protect the health and safety of ES employee, other staff and patients/residents.

6 Page 6 of 6 Employee Incident/Injury Reporting Report incidents or unsafe work to your Supervisor and/or to OHS through the incident management process as required. Risk Assessment Assessment conducted before each interaction with a patient/resident or their environment to determine the risk of exposure to infectious agents, and the appropriate interventions (additional precautions, PPE etc.) to reduce the risk of transmission. Two-Step Clean A two-step process is used to clean and then disinfect surfaces. First wipe surfaces thoroughly to clean the surfaces of visible organic material (dirt you can see) and then wipe again with a clean cloth saturated with disinfectant to remove invisible microorganisms (things you cannot see). Organic materials that are not properly removed during the first step may inactivate the disinfectant used in the second step, therefore both steps are essential. Cleaning Frequency Based on the Cleaning Frequency Standard. References Alberta Health Services, Linen and Environmental Services, Cleaning Protocol Standard # ES-PROT-CLN-006
